Suggestion: In order to limit the creation of spirit and possession types in the Yochi Furi, I think they should be capped as of the time you review this and any future creations require your Approval before they can create it. That way someone useful to a plot twist can be created and you don't have to make or RP extra NPCs.

Also, with the death of Merkus, the realm rift, and the amount of spirits and spirit particles that were transported with Dem, that could explain for a VERY limited number of kami or oni since both realms are locked in the past and would allow for possession and hitorinji types to be spawned. Just some ideas since people wanna make new characters in the past realm.

>..> I think it's stupid to update texp and update your bio separately, it's a waste of time and makes it all the more easier when there updated together.

So suggestion is update the entire bio together without separating anything about it.

really either i'm missing something big or what, but isn't it more of a hassle to get your texp from a different board than just updating it all together that way all the information is in one spot instead of two or more different areas.

So exactly what's the point of the TEXP claim board when you can so easily just claim your texp at the same time your updating your bio all together. I, honestly, prefer just updating them together makes it easier on me so i don't have to constantly open new tabs to revisit threads I already sent in an update just to get my texp. Its much simpler to send it in all together.

@ psi 1 - ty@ rune - keep workin at it! ^___^ might wanna move it to an ooc board for help/ideas before posting it here@ psi 2 - there shouldn't be any bios with oni/kami charries from the past. there really shouldn't be. there are a few possessions but i can allow those w/that rationale you give. i'll clarify it on the pages.@ kimi - ah okay. i'll think bout it. for now let's do it like the way the site is set up. texp and jc updates have their own boards, etc. we don't mark 'done' after texp updates, but one board makes it easy for me to see who applied for texp and when. it dun mix in everyone else's unaffiliated updates. thx for the input tho, i'll see about finding another way.

Oh! I have an idea! *giggles* For my character nina! I want her to be a kitsu possession, but I'd like her water based instead of fire, can I switch out her possession abilities that deal in fire with that of water? and have a water fox trasnformation? *pleeeeaaase!?*

Hey there, I know I'm new and this may be slightly out of place for me, but I have a few possible new jobs:

First of all, I noticed you have nothing to do with the media except on the corporate level. So, I would reccomend some things along the following lines:

Photographer (Like Max)ReporterAnchorman/womanWeather Forecaster

Every city has news casters, why don't ours? lol.

Now, onto a topic I earlier wrote to Shin and forgot to post here, my appologies for the excruciatingly long delay, but...

Alright, so I've looked through your racial standards and found the Taints to be rather, entertaining. So, in light of this, I noticed the slim number available and would like to throw some special concepts out there:

The WaspTaint powers might include flight, a high damage sting, the ability to grip and climb along rough walls and ceilings without issue, and maybe a projectile attack from the stinger.

The LeechTaint power to drain blood, similarly to a vaspire, but without the cravings, the ability to cling to foes with a violent grasp, poison damage while draining a victim, and the ability to breathe under water.

Then, a slightly differnet concept. How about energy 'taints' for specie? Essentially working for an elemental or energy form of some kind. Here are some quick examples:

FireWhile in Fire Form, all flames heal the user, though fire doesn't deal damage when not in fire form. While in fire form, all fire based spells have 2x effect but have no more fatigue. Fire element prevents the user from making contact with water while in fire form, all water and ice damage taken is doubled while in fire form. Upon gaining fire form, the owner's ice and water spells all take double stamina (or have 1/2 power) and cannot be used in fire form.

EarthWhile in Earth Form, character gains a large defensive bonus and all earth spells have 2x effect. Electricity cannot harm a being in earth form. Earth can still deal damage to earth players, but player has an extreme damage tollerance both in and out of earth form (though it is much lower when not active). Earth character's physical defensive powers count as 1 level higher while in earth form (even if that brings them to 6), and they must pay 2x stamina to use wind and lightning spells while in earth form, though no other penalty comes out of earth form.

WindWhile in Wind Form, a character can levitate and float freely, taking 1/2 damage from wind, physical and ice attacks. However, fire deals 2x damage to those in wind form and may actually negate wind form. All Wind and Lightning spells cast in wind form have 1/2 stamina cost. Ice and water spells require 2x the stamina to use, but retain normal effects, when in wind form. Outside of wind form, wind spells still only deal 1/2 damage.

WaterWhile in Water Form, a character may walk on water or breathe underwater at their leisure, regaining health so long as they remain in contact with water by absorbing proportionate amounts of water to the damage they received. While in Water form, Electricity deals double damage, whereas fire, physical, and ice deal 1/2 damage. The character may use electric spells even in water from, but they receive 1/2 its normal damage (not doubled) any time they do. They may not use Fire spells in Water form. When not in Water form, character's fire spells only have 1/2 effect, electricity still deals 2x damage but water and ice only deal 1/2.

MagixThose with a Magix taint have a bonus to their energy spells and casting spells while in magix form, becoming an essentially living energy field, but they have no other inherrent bonus outside of magix form. They receive no damage reductions or immunities, but also do not take additional damage from any source.

I think this should be ample for now, my mad scientist mind is still coming up with other concauctions and I will design stats/powers for these taints if you wish. Please, tell me your opinions and let me know what needs to be given exact powers and what is completely dismissed.

@ kg - thx ^_^@ brok - nah o_o@ lm - ya, try that@ scaari - ok, come up w/some of those jobs/fill em out more, etc and i'll see about approving them. i'm in the process of getting the already approved taintings up to add more to that pagethx for your inputi like the wasp and leech, but dun really wanna go the elemental routefocus on fleshing those two out and gimme something solid

So just a suggestion, seeing as this is the suggestion area. How about a Sport entertainer job area. I mean I guess it could be under Celebrity area. But its not listed, ya know. I mean id kinda like my guy to play in a sport, or Box. what not.

Alright, peoples, I has returned, but not with my original fun times suggestions.

Now, whether or not you are familiar with the spirits of the land, I have noticed you are severely lacking on the druidic, dryadic, and natural forms of creature. In short, you have no true nature spirits, and I would like to suggest that, especially in the past realm, these be brought a bit more to the foreground.

Max, my character, is currently on a pet mission, but as the RP grew, he found himself pursuing a creature known as the Nagual, now these, to his knowledge, are beasts who protect the forest. However, in tradition they are also possessors of humans. As a result, I would like to know where you stand.

Option 1) Nagual as a petPowers: Temporary possession of any non-hitorinji humanoid, animal, or other non-spirit beast. All mortals are fair game. Also, power of hypnotism and nature magic (wind, earth, lightning, and water), Temporary enhancement for user, grants power of shapeshifting to user.

Option 2) Nagual as possession Nagual Attributes: AverageNagual are guardians of the wild, devoted to the protection of the wilderness and all natural spirits, including the yokai, spirit animals. Though not necessarily as strong as other possessions, they have definite bonuses that tie them to the natural world around them. Through their nature, they are skilled changelings and accustomed to dealing with all varieties of opposing creatures, though they may only be found in natural zones.Nagual are not demons, and are not unholy in any way, making them unlike a number of other possessions and not subject to certain anti-spirit barriers designed specifically to nullify or destroy demonic presences. Also, any nagual who chooses to spitefully harm nature will lose their gift immediately, this does not mean hunting, but it does mean things such as burning trees for no reason other than to burn them.Powers:

Acute Senses (Passive): Nagual’s senses are sharper than a normal humans, though not so much so as other species. Increases all five senses by 50% per level (as compared to human).Commune with Nature (Passive): Naguals are guardians of the wild, and part of protecting the wild is speaking to the wild. Nagual may commune with any beast in its natural language, regardless of what it is. This does not apply to humans or anything of an order equal to or above the human race’s lingual complexity.Instinctual Reflexes (Passive): The first step to bonding with nature is trusting nature. Nagual are incredibly fleet of foot and sure of their steps, making them have a x1 increase to jump distance, agility, and maneuverability per level of this ability.Nagual’s Thousand Faces: May take any other roughly humanoid form on will, shapeshifting takes one full turn to perform and can be anywhere from a simple scar to completely different bodily structure.Hypnotic Gaze: On a successful roll, gaze puts any chosen target the user meets eyes with to sleep. Sleep lasts for a small number of rounds and target wakes with no recollection of how or why they went to sleep.Claws of the Guardian: Nagual may use natural powers they have learned in the form of a claw attack. Claw attack gains elemental damage of fire, lightning, water, or earth while this is active, only one element may be active at a time, and only elements of packages that the nagual has learned may be used. (i.e., if you don’t know fire spells, you can’t use fire claws)Illusory Camouflage: Nagual may appear to vanish into any natural zone. This mimics the invisibility spell, but only works in the presence or contact of trees or any natural zone (such as a forest). Trees need not be touched if in a natural zone.Animal Form: A trained nagual gains the ability to take on the form of any other mammalian beast at will. At mastered, nagual may take on aquatic, reptilian, and avian forms. At perfected, they may take on the form of any creature of any size. Must have Nagual’s Thousand Faces before gaining Animal Form.Tree Bond: A nagual is able to bond with trees, allowing them to move into and through them as though through water. When within a tree, a nagual’s natural aura is reflected throughout the entire tree, though no physical aspects of the tree change.Guardian Form: Upon gaining the Animal Form and Tree Bond abilities, a Nagual may gain the Guardian Form ability, though this ability starts as a normal ability or technique would (at novice level) instead of at honed upon being gained. Guardian Form increases a nagual’s attributes to Strong instead of average and allows them to cast spells as though they were a Yokai, without incantation and without extra drain than they normally have. A nagual gains their guardian form in the quest they perform to gain it, and it may be any humanoid, animal, or cross between the two, though it often has glowing portions of the body, glowing eyes, abnormal size, or something offsetting from the norm about it. Guardian Form takes 2x the normal experience to train and cannot be raised above the nagual’s Animal Form level.Drain is Fierce. Guardian Form may stay active for up to 5 rounds per level.

You give one of the less special reports of the news station, and usually aren’t quite as memorable.

Wasps grow large, thin, chittinous wings from their back, black claw-like nails, and a large, multi-segmented rear abdominal joint ended with a lethal stinger. Able to fly and maneuver extremely well, they are able to attack from land, air, or wall.

Effect: Grows stinger and wings within 1 turn. Stinger’s attack damage is weak but goes up with each level. Stinger and wings have ½ User’s health and regrow after 10 posts if severed or destroyed.

Wasp Venom (Passive)

The Wasp’s stinger is coated in a powerful venom, though, unlike the spider, this is lethal. Wasp Venom, after stinging, must be refilled before another use in a sting.

Wasps, using their new claw-like appendages, may stick to and climb along walls much like a spider.

Barb Launch

Though not recommended, a Wasp may detach their stinger by launching it or break it off within their prey. If done within prey, doubles poison’s effect, and applies this ability’s effect. Otherwise, only does this ability’s effect with normal poisoning.

Damage is Fierce, Launch up to 20ft per level

The Leech

Leech Xformation

Unlike other taints, leeches’ formation is very minute. Their mouth becomes more circular, their teeth following its curve and becoming razor-sharp, able to stick into and onto foes. Also, if they do not already have claws, they gain small ones.

Leech Life

When biting prey, a Leech may lock their jaws onto the target, draining their blood turn by turn. This restores an equal amount of health and stamina to the leech as ½ of the health that was drained from the target.

Biting hold is dependent on attribute strength, drain is strong

Slippery (Passive)

Leeches are slippery and somewhat slimy, it is harder to get a hold of them than normal creatures.

Knockout Venom (Passive)

Leeches with this ability gradually put their prey to sleep while leeching life. Those already asleep stay asleep as though they felt nothing. This also numbs the bitten area.

Fatigue is weak

Flatten

Leeches may flatten their body or only parts of their body, allowing them to fit into unusually tight places.

Masamune, a man made of legends for blacksmiths, is a dealer in special weaponry within the past. He does not care how he gets his money, thus the Temples are against him- he sells to spirits and humans alike. He is specially adapt at creating new and deadly weaponry by fedual era standards. He is known as a master of magic and blades, likely the only reason that he is still alive because of his dealings between the two races. He is a traveling blacksmith most of the time, and until he is commissioned, he'll move every day. Anything normal that you order from him will cost x2 what it normally does.

Húdié Shuāng Dāo [Butterfly sword]A short blade made to be concelled within sleeves before being removed for surprising attacks. Often used in pairs, and comes with a leather sheath.Price: ???

Shuanggou [Hook Sword]An exotic looking weapon, the end of the blade comes up in a curve. The weapon is duel edged. The pommel of the Shuanggou is a spear blade, with hand guards that make a rectangle, with the edges pointing away being spear-blade-like as well. This is another weapon commonly used in pairs. Price: ???

Kama [Sickle]The perfect weapon for an assassin. A humble begining, the kama is used not only for slicing, but for farming, by cutting wheat or other plants.Price: ???

KusarigamaAnother weapon perfect for assassins. The kusarigama is a kama connected to a chain that has a ball or a kunai blade at the end of it. The chain can be anywhere from one meter to three meters in length. Anything extra must be specially ordered.Price: ???

POLEARMS / STAFFS

JiA double-headed halberd with a spear blade in the middle that traditionally has a red tassel under the blade. It often has a sharpened end on the other side. It is mainly used for slashing and stabbing. One may also think of it as an Oriental trident. The whole halberd is 6 feet long, with the bladed head being 1 foot and 6 inches.Price: ???

YariA staff with a long blade at the top end of the weapon, which is usually flat to easily slide in-between ribs and and then slide out. The bottom end are thick, blunt metal end, for a counterweight and a weapon for blunt damage. The whole spear is 6 feet long, with the bladed head being 1 foot and 2 inches.Price: ???

Three Section StaffA very deceptive weapon, the three section staff has two looks: one that seems to be a Bou staff that has chains hidden, which loosened when the staff is twisted to turn into two foot poles that twist around opponents to the three sections themselves.Price: ???

Short Range

TonfaSimply short rods, either metal or wood, about 2 feet and a half. There is a handle that you hold onto, or you can hold onto the short end of the tonfa on the other side of the handle.Price: ???

Emeici [Emei Daggers]A pair of unlikely pair of deadly weapons. The Emeici are a steel weapon pair of daggers that look like crossbow bolts shrunk into 7 inch blades. Each has a barb at the end. They have a leather strap in the middle, meant for these weapons to be spun for a hidden attack or to dazzle the opponent while attacking with the other one. These can be hidden in sleeves or placed in pouches.Price: ???

What about item/weapon/armor sets? I mean armor does stack on itself, but there are also

An example might be:

Dragon Master's Set

Helm of the Red DragonA bright red helmet designed in the shape of a dragon's head, hiding the user's face but all around the user's mouth and chin.Effect: Fire Breath- Destructive level fire attack, may be used 1 time every 10 posts. -2 posts per additional set piece

Grieves of the White DragonA set of metal boots that come up to the shin of the person to wear it.Effect: Fly 2 posts per piece of set worn

Cape of the Black DragonA cape darker than the blackest shadow.Effect: +1 defense against all black magic per set piece

Set Bonus: Having every set piece grants +40% HP and STA

I mean you don't have to use these items or anything but it's just an idea. Hell it could even be that none of the items have any special effect except for the set bonus. I mean granted you'd need to come up with a lot of items but there are plenty of us here that would gladly do that.

But I saw Scaarion went ahead and put up the Job types I was talking about. Thank you Scaarion. I would actually like to elaborate on that though. Cause while those two are great Jobs, I actually enjoy working my way up. So without further A Do.

Shin, that was just an example. All I'm saying is item/weapon/armor sets would be pretty neat. It would force people who have say 1 piece of the set to seek out the others and try to get it. It would put people up against other members of the site that have it, promoting not only fighting but diplomacy. I mean if I were to give my pieces of a set to someone else it might ingratiate my character with theirs. Not always, but you get the point.

Dragon Transformation:In this mode the user grows scales as thick and hard as steel. Leathery wings sprout from the user's back that can be used to glide. Hands grow claws and your teeth become sharper than any razor and the eyes become reptilian in appearance. and of course a tail grows. this mode is required to use the techniques in this package.Effect: +50 hp while in this mode

Quote :

Dragyn XformationWhen this mode is invoked, the user will grow thick and hard scales over its body. The scales will vary in size depending on the portion of the body they cover with the only vulnerable spot on the body available for a critical hit being just above the heart. Foldable, leathery wings sprout from the user's back and can be used to glide and slow falling from high places. The user's hands will grow claws and its teeth will become sharper. There will be a noticable pupil change in the eyes which become reptilian in appearance, and of course a tail grows about twice the size of a third limb. The mode is required to use the techniques in this package.Effect: +2 def to physical attacks, size growth can vary up to x2 the user's original size

FirebreathThe user produces fire from deep within its stomach simply by inhaling. This fire can be projected and sprays out much like a flamethrower in a straight line. The width and range of the fire increases with the user's level.Effect: damage is Fierce, width = 1 ft per level, range = 10 ft per level

Rending ClawsThis measures the skill in which the user is able to utilize their sharp claws embued with the fire element. By default, a transformed Dragyn will produce damage equal to their attirbute level with their claws. With this ability, the dragon can add damage to their ripping and slashing attacks with the fire element present in their shreading. Effect: dmg = strength attribute +1

Dragyn GlideWith this ability, the user unleashes their ability to use their wings. Learning how to fly, the Dragyn will be able to take to the skies at a max elevation depending on their ability. Effect: able to fly up to 3 stories per level

Falling StarDragyn glide must be perfected in order to perform this. From his max height, a dragyn will rush down from the sky at ascended speed. Fire 10x the size of the user engulfs him/her in the rush and also protect the user from the pending impact. When the attack hits like a meteor, it deals great of both fire and force damage in a wide area of impact in all directions.Effect: dmg = Destructive + 1, drain = fierce, damage to dragyn = fierce, range = 50 yds per level.

What about styles? No not hair styles, but combat styles. I mean if you don't want to come up with a bunch of things I can come up with a number of ideas. Mostly a style would follow these rules:

Limit 1. You can know any number of styles but you can only use one at a time.Change. To change styles it takes you one non-action post to change style.And any other that you might want to throw on, Shin.

An example might be:

Way of the Crab:The user fights defensively, utilizing their body's structure to enhance their defenses while still able to strike and harm a target.Effect: When in use, the user uses their full defense instead of 1/2.

And I can come up with a lot more. These would be physical, though I suppose I could come up with meta-magic styles if need be.

These could also be restricted to quest rewards as well, for certain styles. You know, find a master, learn the style from them, etc.

Plant Transformation:In this mode, the user spouts vines, leaves and flowers over their body. The color of the plant life is up to the person. The plants cover about 50 percent of the body and can be used to draw in sunlight as food and rain as water. And can store such for late use. The roots of the plants covering the body sink in through the user’s skin in a slow painful way until they reach vital organs and the blood stream.Effect: +50% healing to Stamina.

Regenseed (Passive): Like a plant that comes back every year in the spring, the user’s body, if they die in plant form, will drop like a seed and grow back into its original body. Of course if the seed is destroyed so is the body and the plant cannot return. Effect: revival after 7 days IC without penalty.

Seed Blast: The user grows explosive seed upon their body and can launch them at their opponent for a large blast of power. The seeds are about the size of oranges. With each level of mastery they gain another seed for a total of 5 in one shot that can be launchedEffect: 1-5 seeds with high damage each.

Petal Shower: With a shake of the user’s body a shower of multicolored petals fall to the ground around the user. This shower has the ability to negate status effects placed on the user.Effect: Drain is Fierce

Vine Slash: The user vines can detach themselves for us as weapons or to anchor them onto rocks and other surfaces. They can gain up to 5 vines like this. Effect: can climb walls and cliffs, damage is Medium.

Seedlyng

Seedlyng XformationIn this mode, the user spouts vines, leaves and flowers at areas over their body.

The color of the plant life is up to the person. The greenery growth cover anywhere between 25 to 100 percent of the user's body and can be used to draw in sunlight as food and rain as water. The user will be able to absorb sunlight and/or water if it is available in the setting and can utilize store energy from it for later use.

If the vines remain attached to the user, the user will be able to move them at will almost like really long fingers and can even use them to borrow through the ground. Effect: length = 5 ft per level, can be used to climb walls and cliffs, dmg based on strength attribute, bind = strong

Here you go Shin: If you want more ideas for taints, or anything just tell me.

Bits of flesh and skin slide and drip from their body, as they gain a pale greenish gray skin tone. Their eyes grow sunken and shallow as their teeth become sharp and cracked.

Ok I still think there should be a water based Possession like mermaid or siren type possession sumthing like dis maybes...

Siren: Created when a water based spirit takes on a human host. This spirits are much like the element they harbor, Calm on the surface but deep emotional currents run deeper. To attract such spirits they need to connect to their host on an emotional level, either deep passion, or deep sorrow can draw the spirits in easily, they favor women over men for this reason. Weak (land) Average (Water)

Water Breath: can breath underwaterHaunting Song: like a charm but is based on sound rather than sight.Watervail: Can melt into the water to hide themselves from view. They cannot attack during this period but the water does purify and heal them 5% for each turn held.Monsoon: Aoe, wind and hail cover an area and deal heavy damage to opponents within range for each turns held.Water Familiar: A creature fashioned from water and mud, can take any appearance (usually something live a lizard, fish or water fowl) and holds stats equal that of its creator. Creature’s size and skills are based on level of this skill.Honed small summons (dog or cat sized) can use 2 of the creators skillsMastered large summons (horse sized) can used 3 of the creators skillsPerfected = giant summons (elephant sized) can use 5 skills

Wolf Eyes (Passive)when a clan member related by blood, reaches the age of 18 they are transformed. The white of their eyes turn black to match the night and their iris turns white to signify the moon. Because the tainted curse of the clan takes hold at 18, no one younger can posses the abilities. Also the eyes are a family symbol and are ever present, even when skills are not in use. This allows them to use all other skills in the package.

Yonder Vision allows the user to see father, and more clearly through periods were normally visibility would be impossible. In situations where weather is a factor, the user vision is unhindered such as Fog, darkness, sandstorms etc. For times of normal visibility, the user can see twice as far, and make out details that others might miss, such as being able to identify weapons from an abnormally long distance. Also at higher levels, the user can see past visionary illusions.Stamina drain low

Aura Visionallows the user to view Auras of living things in a given area despite objects that hinder normal sight. User can see 20 feet per level, in a given area. At higher levels the user can also distinguish between humans, animals and spirit purely on the color of their aura.Stamina drain low

Eye of Fearan illusionary technique that is preformed when the user makes eye contact with another. Eye of fear allows the user to see into the mind of an opponent and see their worst fears and then cast a high level illusion incorporating that fear into a devastating attack. Depending on the level of the skill, the user may also target more than opponent may at a time with in a certain rage.Damage: fierce, drain high for each turns held.

I noticed that there was nothing like these and they played a big role in village life. For the mage's bonus, that could basically be someone with lightning or fire powers making a better lantern system for their village at night or someone with water or earth powers, making an irrigation system for their village and getting paid for it.

EDIT: Shaman was added since these are villages, so they should have existing spiritual leaders which would be shaman or witch doctors. Mages would be more of a "sorcerer" or "magician" while the shaman would be a "druid" and priests would be a "cleric".

Also, the key word is SUGGEST, so someone can't try to deliver electricity without your permission.

@ kaz - what's the purpose of village buildings? are they just basically for show? come up w/some values for them for me. like the original things i had (i.e. mill) were basically just for someone's storyline. so they can be all like 'i own a mill.' it didn't really 'do' anything. are you trying to come up w/something different? do these effect the economy/output or are they like decorations for your villages?

@ dk - that's coo, i guess, but ppl wait to queue up updates. so ppl can just wait a month to fill out an update and have the multiplier added, or just have 1 thread they have go really long for a 10% boost... i dunno... i dun really see a reason for me to add this, especially if it's just a one time thing.

@ kaza - those all the suggested created u got?

Originally they were meant to help the village's economy and serve the same effect as houses for workers. It also serves as a means to keep villages from growing too fast. Also, it will generally make a village focus on one thing or another. If everything is just for storyline, then this would be unnecessary and it would just be assumed that the village builds these things.

The Merchant Shop, Black Smith Weapon Shop, Black Smith Armor Shop, and maybe a Library would still be useful. You could even set it to need one weapon shop and one armor shop per unit type. The Library would benefit the magical/mystical units as well as be a requirement to have the Teksearcher units. Another factor would be that you could require a specific type of buildings to produce a certain personnel unit type. I unno, it would just add stuff and keep people from growing too fast, too quickly. The other buildings could be for storyline purposes only.

I thought these up b/c the only site-approved improvements to a village are houses and walls, so I wanted to be able to flesh out my village more.

Lord Path Second Completion: Economic Prosperity (Taxes Alternative)Since you're collecting taxes from your citizens, when a Lord goes for their second completion of the path, instead of collecting taxes, their city should be doing well enough that it's making money from trade or tribute, requiring less taxation from their people. We could call it Economic Prosperity. It would then grant the city funding on the same level as taxes per checkpoint for simplicity. The Lord would have to request Economic Prosperity with their 1st Checkpoint of the Second Completion b/c if none of their RPs really show the city growing and becoming more prosperous then they should be denied and require taxes making their people dislike them and giving you the opportunity to create rebellions and riots in their village!

ResourcesStone should be = to 2 wood, 4 foodFood should cost 5 Shinny for 2 food

Food Consumption SystemKyro and I were talking about this and I came up with a setup that you can tweak...If you base it off of the Farmer, then each person in the village needs 1 unit of food per week allowing a Farmer to feed 8 people per week. Going off of this, a Hunter could feed 1 person for the whole week or 7 people for one day.

HousingI think Manor and Keep are too low for the number of people that can live in them. Keeps were pretty huge and generally full of servants and helpers and family members with lots of space and generally manors as well.

SuggestionManor = houses up to 50 peopleKeep = houses up to 100 people

This would also be important b/c by the time, someone gets Manor thru the Lord Path, they have a standing army of 1000 troops at their command and you would assume a fairly large village, so they should be able to have a large enough manor that it could accommodate all of their servants and guards.

*Bump for my building additions suggestion and Economic Prosperity Suggestion.*

Exorcism: I suppose some explanation on how that works would be a good idea b/c how it was explained to me is that when you exorcise a hito, they can basically become a hito again in the very next post if they write 750 words, which seems like it kills the point of the exorcism.

Also, if you exercise a Possession, they lose all of their Possession techs and have to get repossessed and relearn all their abilities, so it would seem like that would be a logical equivalent for Hitos... that they would at least have to wait a day before they can get a new Shouchou or their old Shouchou and they would have to relearn all Adv Magic and Omega Physical techs from scratch again.

Yeah... I was gonna break it up into multiple posts, but they're all really brief topics.

So I was looking at how Curse and Blessing works and was thinking if I follow the rules Blessing would hurt Natsuki and Curse wouldn't do anything... Which to me doesn't go with character at all and most of the Possession seem like they could be the same way so to fix this maybe there should be an Alignment listing ex; Light, Neutral, Dark or maybe the Pozzessions should be listed as such

my original thought: instead of an alignment listing, i think it'd be less work to just have a quest to set your alignment as a possessed type.my logic was that, bless is supposed to be anti spirit, so that's why it hurts possessed ppl and not normal humans (well, humans, hitos and kamis).but if there are possessions who want to change what hurts them, then we can make a 1 time quest for it. write it up and i'll give you the texp for it. something like that will prolly be for possessions only who are unable to caste curse (b/c seers can curse, light or dark... and i dun need 'dark kamis' and crap.)prolly won't have a neutral, unless they wanna be hurt by both xDif you can't put together the quest, kyro you do it xD

my afterthought:nah... i think i'll do it on a character by character basis. something like this can be handled w/a permission. so, if you want to do this for your char, i'll approve it and make you do an rp to purify your possession, etc. if anyone else wants to do it to, i'll review it at that time.

sound gud?
